INTRODUCTION 


PURPOSE  AND  USES  OF  THE  ECONOMIC 
CENSUSES 

The  economic  censuses  are  the  major  source  of  facts 
about  the  structure  and  functioning  of  the  Nation's  econ- 
omy. They  provide  essential  information  for  government, 
business,  industry,  and  the  general  public. 

Economic  censuses  furnish  an  important  part  of 
the  framework  for  such  composite  measures  as  the 
gross  national  product,  input-output  measures,  pro- 
duction and  price  indexes,  and  other  statistical  series 
that  measure  short-term  changes  in  economic  con- 
ditions. 

Policy-making  agencies  of  the  Federal  Govern- 
ment use  the  data,  especially  in  monitoring  economic 
activity  and  providing  assistance  to  business. 

State  and  local  governments  use  the  data  to 
assess  business  activities  and  tax  bases  within  their 
jurisdictions  and  to  develop  programs  to  attract  busi- 
ness. 


Special  programs  also  cover  enterprise  statistics  and 
minority-owned  and  women-owned  businesses.  (The  1987 
Census  of  Agriculture  and  1987  Census  of  Governments 
are  conducted  separately.)  The  next  economic  censuses 
are  scheduled  to  be  taken  in  1993  covering  the  year  1992. 


AVAILABILITY  OF  THE  DATA 

The  results  of  each  of  the  economic  censuses  are 
available  in  printed  reports,  for  sale  by  the  U.S.  Govern- 
ment Printing  Office,  and  on  microfiche,  computer  tape, 
compact  discs  with  read-only  memory,  and  flexible  dis- 
kettes, for  sale  by  the  Census  Bureau.  Order  forms  for  all 
types  of  products  are  available  on  request  from  Customer 
Services,  Census  Bureau,  Washington,  DC  20233.  A  more 
complete  description  of  publications  being  issued  from  this 
census  is  on  the  inside  back  cover  of  this  document. 

Census  facts  are  also  widely  disseminated  by  trade 
associations,  business  journals,  and  newspapers.  Vol- 
umes containing  census  statistics  are  available  in  most 
major  public  and  college  libraries.  Finally,  State  Data 
Centers  in  every  State  and  Business  and  Industry  Data 
Centers  in  many  States  also  supply  economic  census 
statistics. 


Trade  associations  study  trends  in  their  own  and 
competing  industries,  and  keep  their  members  informed 
of  market  changes. 

Individual  businesses  use  the  data  to  locate  poten- 
tial markets  and  to  analyze  their  own  production  and 
sales  performance  relative  to  industry  or  area  aver- 
ages. 


AUTHORITY  AND  SCOPE 

Title  13  of  the  United  States  Code  (sections  131,  191, 
and  224)  directs  the  Census  Bureau  to  take  the  economic 
censuses  every  5  years,  covering  years  ending  in  2  and  7. 
The  1987  Economic  Censuses  consist  of  the — 

Census  of  Retail  Trade 
Census  of  Wholesale  Trade 
Census  of  Service  Industries 
Census  of  Transportation 
Census  of  Manufactures 
Census  of  Mineral  Industries 
Census  of  Construction  Industries 


WHAT'S  NEW  IN  1987 

Several  changes  have  taken  place  for  the  1987  cen- 
suses. Data  will  be  reported  on  the  basis  of  the  newly 
revised  Standard  Industrial  Classification  (SIC)  system  with 
selected  reports  including  "bridge  tables,"  linking  the  old 
and  new  classification  systems.  A  new  set  of  metropolitan 
areas  has  been  adopted,  and  more  detailed  information 
will  be  available  for  businesses  with  no  paid  employees. 
For  additional  information  on  these  changes,  review  the 
subsequent  text. 


HISTORICAL  INFORMATION 

The  economic  censuses  have  been  taken  together  as 
an  integrated  program  at  5-year  intervals  since  1967,  and 
before  that  for  1 963, 1 958,  and  1 954.  Prior  to  that  time,  the 
individual  censuses  were  taken  separately  at  varying  inter- 
vals. 

The  economic  censuses  trace  their  beginnings  to  the 
1810  Decennial  Census,  when  questions  on  manufactur- 
ing were  included  with  those  for  population.  Coverage  of 
economic  activities  was  expanded  for  1840  and  subse- 
quent censuses  to  include  mining  and  some  commercial

activities.  In  1902,  Congress  established  a  permanent 
Census  Bureau  and  directed  that  a  census  of  manufac- 
tures be  taken  every  5  years.  The  1905  manufactures 
census  was  the  first  time  a  census  was  taken  apart  from 
the  regular  every-1 0-year  population  census. 

The  first  census  of  business  was  taken  in  1930,  cover- 
ing 1929.  Initially  it  covered  retail  and  wholesale  trade,  and 
construction  industries,  but  it  was  broadened  in  1933  to 
include  some  of  the  service  trades. 

The  1954  economic  censuses  were  the  first  to  be  fully 
integrated — providing  comparable  census  data  across  eco- 
nomic sectors,  using  consistent  time  periods,  concepts, 
definitions,  classifications,  and  reporting  units.  These  were 
the  first  censuses  to  be  taken  by  mail,  using  lists  of  firms 
provided  by  the  administrative  records  of  other  federal 
agencies.  Since  1963,  administrative  records  have  also 
been  used  to  provide  basic  statistics  as  well  for  very  small 
firms,  reducing  or  eliminating  the  need  to  send  them 
census  questionnaires.  The  Enterprise  Statistics  Program, 
which  publishes  combined  data  from  the  economic  cen- 
suses, was  made  possible  with  the  implementation  of  the 
integrated  census  program  in  1954. 

The  range  of  industries  covered  in  the  economic  cen- 
suses has  continued  to  expand.  The  Census  of  Construc- 
tion Industries  began  on  a  regular  basis  in  1967,  and  the 
scope  of  service  industries  was  broadened  in  1967,  1977, 
and  1987.  The  Census  of  Transportation  began  in  1963  as 
a  set  of  surveys  covering  travel,  transportation  of  commod- 
ities, and  trucks.  New  for  1987  are  publications  reporting 
on  business  establishments  engaged  in  several  transpor- 
tation industries,  paralleling  the  data  on  establishments  in 
other  sectors.  This  is  part  of  a  gradual  expansion  in 
coverage  of  industries  previously  subjected  to  government 
regulation.  The  Survey  of  Minority-Owned  Business  Enter- 
prises was  first  conducted  as  a  special  project  in  1969  and 
was  incorporated  into  the  economic  censuses  in  1972 
along  with  the  Survey  of  Women-Owned  Businesses. 

Economic  censuses  have  also  been  taken  in  Puerto 
Rico  since  1909,  in  the  Virgin  Islands  and  Guam  since 
1958,  and  in  the  Northern  Mariana  Islands  since  1982. 

Statistical  reports  from  the  1982  and  earlier  censuses 
provide  historical  figures  for  the  study  of  long-term  time 
series,  and  are  available  in  some  large  libraries.  All  of  the 
census  data  published  since  1967  are  still  available  for 
sale  on  microfiche  from  the  Census  Bureau. 


AVAILABILITY  OF  MORE  FREQUENT 
ECONOMIC  DATA 

While  the  censuses  provide  complete  enumerations 
every  5  years,  there  are  many  needs  for  more  frequent 
data  as  well.  The  Census  Bureau  conducts  a  number  of 
monthly,  quarterly,  and  annual  surveys,  the  results  of 
which  appear  in  publication  series  such  as  Current  Busi- 
ness Reports  (retail  and  wholesale  trade  and  service 
industries),  the  Annual  Survey  of  Manufactures,  Current 
Industrial  Reports,  and  the  Quarterly  Financial  Report. 
Most  of  these  surveys,  while  providing  more  frequent 


observations,  yield  less  kind-of-business  and  geographic 
detail  than  the  censuses.  The  County  Business  Patterns 
program  offers  annual  statistics  on  the  number  of  estab- 
lishments, employment,  and  payroll  classified  by  industry 
within  each  county. 

SOURCES  FOR  MORE  INFORMATION 

More  information  about  the  scope,  coverage,  classifica- 
tion system,  data  items,  and  publications  for  each  of  the 
economic  censuses  and  related  surveys  is  published  in  the 
Guide  to  the  1987  Economic  Censuses  and  Related 
Statistics.  More  information  on  the  methodology,  proce- 
dures, and  history  of  the  censuses  will  be  published  in  the 
History  of  the  1987  Economic  Censuses.  Contact  Cus- 
tomer Services  for  information  on  availability. 

CENSUS  OF  RETAIL  TRADE 

The  1987  Census  of  Retail  Trade,  part  of  the  1987 
Economic  Censuses,  covered  retail  trade  as  defined  in  the 
Standard  Industrial  Classification  (SIC)  Manual.1  It  included 
all  establishments  primarily  engaged  in  selling  merchan- 
dise for  personal  or  household  consumption  and  rendering 
services  incidental  to  the  sale  of  the  goods.  The  census 
excluded  governmental  organizations  classified  in  the 
covered  industries  except  for  liquor  stores  operated  by 
State  and  local  governments.  Data  for  direct  sellers  (SIC 
5963)  with  no  paid  employees  and  post  exchanges,  ship 
stores,  and  similar  establishments  operated  on  military 
posts  by  agencies  of  the  Federal  Government  are  not 
included.  The  basic  tabulations  in  this  report  do  not  include 
data  for  establishments  which  are  auxiliary  (primary  func- 
tion is  providing  a  service,  such  as  warehouses)  to  retail 
establishments  within  the  same  organization.  Data  for 
auxiliaries  are  presented  in  a  subsequent  report  issued  as 
part  of  the  1987  Enterprise  Statistics  reports. 

For  the  1 987  Census  of  Retail  Trade,  large-  and  medium- 
size  firms,  plus  all  firms  known  to  operate  more  than  one 
establishment,  were  sent  questionnaires  to  be  completed 
and  returned  to  the  Census  Bureau  by  mail.  For  most  very 
small  firms,  including  those  with  no  paid  employees,  data 
from  existing  administrative  records  of  other  Federal  agen- 
cies were  used  instead.  These  records  provided  basic 
information  on  location,  kind  of  business,  sales,  payroll, 
number  of  employees,  and  legal  form  of  organization.  In 
addition,  more  detailed  information  for  selected  kinds  of 
business  was  obtained  on  the  various  questionnaires. 

Appendix  A  gives  a  more  detailed  explanation  of  census 
coverage  and  methodology. 

CENSUS  DISCLOSURE  RULES 

In  accordance  with  Federal  law  governing  census  reports, 
no  data  are  published  that  would  disclose  the  operations  of 
an  individual  establishment  or  business.   However,  the

number  of  establishments  in  a  kind-of-business  classifica- 
tion is  not  considered  a  disclosure,  so  this  information  may 
be  released  even  though  other  information  is  withheld. 

GEOGRAPHIC  AREAS  COVERED 

This  report  series  presents  data  for  the  following  areas: 

1.  The  United  States  as  a  whole. 

2.  Each  State  and  the  District  of  Columbia. 

3.  Each  consolidated  metropolitan  statistical  area  (CMSA) 
and  primary  metropolitan  statistical  area  (PMSA) 
defined  by  the  Office  of  Management  and  Budget 
as  of  June  30,  1987.  A  CMSA  is  an  area  used  to 
facilitate  the  presentation  and  analysis  of  data  for 
large  concentrations  of  metropolitan  populations.  It 
includes  two  or  more  contiguous  PMSA's  which 
have  a  population  of  at  least  1,000,0002  and  which 
meet  specific  criteria  of  urban  character  and  of 
social  and  economic  integration. 

4.  Each  metropolitan  statistical  area  (MSA)  defined  by 
the  Office  of  Management  and  Budget  as  of  June 
30,  1987.  An  MSA  is  an  integrated  economic  and 
social  unit  with  a  population  nucleus  of  at  least 
50,000  inhabitants.2  Each  MSA  consists  of  one  or 
more  counties  meeting  standards  of  metropolitan 
character;  in  New  England,  cities  and  towns  rather 
than  counties  are  the  component  geographic  units. 

5.  The  area  within  the  State  outside  metropolitan 
statistical  areas. 

6.  Each  county  or  county  equivalent.3  4 

7.  Each  municipality  of  2,500  inhabitants  or  more 
incorporated  as  a  city,  borough,  village,  or 
town.2  3  For  the  economic  censuses,  census  areas 
and  boroughs  in  Alaska,  boroughs  in  New  York,  and 
towns  in  New  York  and  Wisconsin  are  not  included 
in  this  category. 

8.  Special  economic  urban  areas  (SEUA's),  which 
include  townships  in  New  Jersey  and  Pennsylvania 
and  towns  in  New  England  with  10,000  inhabitants 
or  more.2 

DOLLAR  VALUES 

All  dollar  values  presented  in  this  report  are  expressed 
in  current  dollars,  i.e.,  1987  data  are  expressed  in  1987 
dollars  and  1982  data  in  1982  dollars.  Consequently,  when 
making  comparisons  to  prior  years,  users  of  the  data 
should  consider  the  inflation  that  has  occurred.

RELIABILITY  OF  DATA 

All  data  compiled  in  this  report  originated  from  either 
census  questionnaires  or  administrative  records  of  other 
Federal  agencies  and,  therefore,  are  not  subject  to  sam- 
pling errors.  However,  the  data  are  subject  to  nonsampling 
errors.  Nonsampling  errors  can  be  attributed  to  many 
sources:  inability  to  identify  all  cases  in  the  actual  universe; 
definition  and  classification  difficulties;  differences  in  the 
interpretation  of  questions;  errors  in  recording  or  coding 
the  data  obtained;  and  other  errors  of  collection,  re- 
sponse, coverage,  and  estimation  for  missing  or  misre- 
ported  data. 

The  accuracy  of  these  tabulated  data  is  determined  by 
the  joint  effects  of  the  various  nonsampling  errors.  No 
direct  measurement  of  these  effects  has  been  obtained 
except  for  estimation  for  missing  or  misreported  data; 
however,  precautionary  steps  were  taken  in  all  phases  of 
the  collection,  processing,  and  tabulation  of  the  data  in  an 
effort  to  minimize  the  effects  of  nonsampling  errors. 

The  Bureau  of  the  Census  obtains  on  computer  tape 
limited  information  extracted  from  administrative  records 
of  other  Federal  agencies.  This  information  is  used  in 
conjunction  with  other  information  available  to  the  Census 
Bureau  to  develop  estimates  for  nonemployers,  small 
employers,  and  other  establishments  for  which  responses 
were  not  received  in  time  for  publication.  For  an  indication 
of  the  extent  that  data  included  in  these  reports  were 
obtained  from  the  administrative  records  of  other  Federal 
agencies  and  from  estimation,  rather  than  reports  directly 
from  respondents,  see  appendix  E.  Also,  see  appendix  A 
for  a  more  detailed  explanation  of  census  coverage  and 
methodology. 


SPECIAL  TABULATIONS 

Special  tabulations  of  data  collected  in  the  1 987  Census 
of  Retail  Trade  may  be  obtained,  depending  on  availability 
of  time  and  personnel,  on  diskette,  computer  tape,  or  in 
tabular  form.  The  data  will  be  in  summary  form  and  subject 
to  the  same  rules  prohibiting  disclosure  of  confidential 
information  (including  name,  address,  kind  of  business,  or 
other  data  for  individual  business  establishments  or  com- 
panies) as  are  the  regular  publications. 

Special  tabulations  are  prepared  on  a  cost  basis.  A 
request  for  a  cost  estimate,  as  well  as  exact  specifications 
on  the  type  and  format  of  the  data  to  be  provided,  should 
be  directed  to  the  Chief,  Business  Division,  Bureau  of  the 
Census,  Washington,  DC  20233.

SUMMARY  OF  FINDINGS 


Data  from  the  1987  Census  of  Retail  Trade  show  that 
Maine's  9,204  retail  stores  with  payroll  had  sales  totaling 
$8.7  billion.  In  1982,  8,156  stores  had  sales  of  $5.2  billion. 

For  establishments  with  payroll  in  1 987,  sales  of  grocery 
stores  accounted  for  1 9.9  percent  of  the  State's  total  sales 
by  retailers  compared  to  23.6  percent  in  1982.  Other 
leading  retail  kinds  of  business  in  1987  were  new  car 
dealers  with  18.0  percent  of  sales,  department  stores 
(including  leased  departments)  with  7.0  percent,  gasoline 
service  stations  with  6.4  percent,  and  lumber  and  other 
building  materials  dealers  with  5.1  percent. 

For  1987,  sales  for  establishments  with  payroll  in  the 
State  averaged  $940  thousand  per  establishment,  com- 
pared to  $633  thousand  in  1982.  In  1987,  department 
stores  (including  leased  departments)  averaged  $9.4  mil- 
lion per  establishment;  new  car  dealers,  $7.3  million; 
lumber  and  other  building  materials  dealers,  $2.1  million; 
grocery  stores,  $1.5  million;  and  fuel  oil  dealers,  $1.5 
million. 


For  retail  establishments  with  payroll,  1987  sales  per 
employee  averaged  $94  thousand.  New  car  dealers  had 
sales  per  employee  of  $281  thousand,  which  contrasts 
sharply  with  the  $24  thousand  per  employee  average  for 
cafeterias. 

The  1987  payroll  of  retailers  in  the  State  amounted  to 
$959  million,  compared  to  $551  million  for  1982.  Payroll  as 
a  percent  of  sales  of  establishments  with  payroll  averaged 
11.1  percent  for  all  retailers,  33.4  percent  for  cafeterias, 
and  6.5  percent  for  used  car  dealers. 

There  were  91,991  paid  employees  (full-  and  part-time) 
engaged  in  retail  trade  in  the  State  as  of  mid-March  1987, 
compared  to  67,546  employees  in  1982.  Grocery  stores 
were  the  largest  employers  with  15,935  employees;  fol- 
lowed by  restaurants  and  lunchrooms,  15,426  employees; 
and  refreshment  places,  8,927. 

Cumberland  County  led  the  counties  in  the  State,  account- 
ing for  30.5  percent  of  total  sales  by  retailers.  Bangor  had 
the  largest  sales  among  all  places  in  the  State,  with  7.2 
percent  of  the  State  total.

RETAIL  TRADE-GEOGRAPHIC  AREA  SERIES 


APPENDIX  A. 
General  Explanation 


CENSUS  COVERAGE  AND  METHODOLOGY 

Structure  and  method  of  enumeration— Firms  in  the 

1987  Census  of  Retail  Trade  were  divided  into  the  nonmail 
universe  and  mail  universe.  The  coverage  and  the  method 
of  obtaining  census  information  from  each  follow: 

1.  The  nonmail  universe  consists  of  firms  which  were 
not  required  to  file  a  regular  census  return  and 
includes: 

a.  All  nonemployers,  i.e.,  all  firms  with  no  paid 
employment  during  1987.  Sales  information  for 
them  was  obtained  from  administrative  records 
of  other  Federal  agencies.  Although  consisting 
of  a  large  number  of  firms,  nonemployers  account 
for  less  than  3  percent  of  total  retail  sales.  Data 
on  nonemployers  are  provided  in  subsequent 
1987  Census  of  Retail  Trade  reports,  Nonem- 
ployer  Statistics,  RC87-N,  and  Selected  Statis- 
tics, RC87-SP-1. 

The  census  included  only  those  retail  non- 
employer  firms  which  reported  a  sales  volume 
of  $1,000  or  more  during  1987  plus  firms  in 
operation  for  less  than  the  full  year  that  reported 
sales  which,  if  projected  to  an  annual  basis, 
would  have  reached  a  total  of  $1 ,000  or  more. 

b.  Selected  small  employers,  i.e.,  single-establishment 
firms  with  payroll  below  a  specified  cutoff.  (The 
term  "employers"  refers  to  all  business  firms 
with  paid  employees  at  any  time  during  1987  as 
shown  in  the  active  administrative  records  of 
other  Federal  agencies.)  Although  the  payroll 
cutoff  varied  by  kind  of  business,  small  employ- 
ers generally  included  firms  with  one  to  three 
employees  and  represented  about  10  percent 
of  total  retail  sales. 

Data  on  sales,  payroll,  and  employment  for 
employer  firms  below  the  cutoff  were  derived  or 
estimated  from  the  administrative  records  of 
other  Federal  agencies,  except  for  a  10-percent 
sample  which  was  included  in  the  mail  universe. 

2.  The  mail  universe  consists  of  firms  for  which  infor- 
mation was  obtained  basically  by  means  of  a  mail 
canvass  and  includes: 

a.  Large  employers,  i.e.,  all  employer  firms  above 
the  payroll  size  cutoff  establishment  to  separate 
large  from  small  employers.  Within  this  cate- 
gory, a  report  of  company  organization  is  con- 
ducted periodically  to  identify  firms  which  oper- 
ated establishments  at  more  than  one  location 


and  to  obtain  information  on  payroll  and  mid- 
March  employment  at  each  location.  The  1986 
Report  of  Company  Organization  was  used  as  a 
coverage  check  in  the  census.  In  the  census 
mailing  package  containing  the  appropriate  1 987 
questionnaires,  firms  were  sent  a  form  to  use  in 
updating  the  list  of  establishments  with  those 
opened  since  1986. 

b.  The  1 0-percent  sample  of  small  employers  referred 
to  in  section  1b  above  which  were  sent  the 
census  mailing  packages  containing  the  appro- 
priate 1987  questionnaires. 

Method  of  classifying  kinds  of  business— The  retail 
trade  classifications  for  all  establishments  were  based  on 
the  Standard  Industrial  Classification  (SIC)  Manual.1  How- 
ever, the  method  of  assigning  these  classifications,  and 
the  level  of  detail  at  which  establishmonts  were  classified, 
differed  between  the  nonmail  and  mail  universe  as  follows: 

1 .  The  nonmail  universe. 

a.  All  nonemployers  were  classified  inside  or  out- 
side of  retail  trade  on  the  basis  of  information 
obtained  from  other  Federal  agencies. 

b.  Selected  small  employers  were  classified  on 
the  basis  of  the  most  current  census  kind- 
of-business  classification  available  from  one  of 
the  Bureau's  current  sample  surveys  or  the 
1 982  census.  Otherwise,  the  classification  was 
obtained  from  the  administrative  records  of 
other  Federal  agencies. 

If  the  census  or  administrative  record  classi- 
fications proved  inadequate  (none  corresponded 
to  a  census  classification  in  the  detail  required 
for  employers),  the  firm  was  sent  a  brief  inquiry 
requesting  information  necessary  to  assign  a 
1987  census  kind-of-business  code. 

2.  Establishments  in  the  mail  universe  were  classified 
on  the  basis  of  their  self  designation  and  answers  to 
questions  on  sales  by  merchandise  lines  and  other 
special  inquiries. 

COMPARABILITY  OF  THE  1982  AND  1987 
CENSUSES 

The  1982  and  1987  censuses  were  conducted  under 
similar  conditions  and  procedures  except  for  the  following:

RETAIL  TRADE— GEOGRAPHIC  AREA  SERIES 


APPENDIX  A     A-1 


Classifications — In  1982,  classifications  were  based 
on  the  1972  Standard  Industrial  Classification  (SIC)  Man- 
ual and  its  1977  Supplement.  For  1987,  classifications  are 
based  on  the  1987  SIC  Manual.  There  are  major  revisions 
to  the  SIC  structure  for  1987  which  limit  the  comparability 
of  data  between  the  1982  and  1987  censuses.  The  kinds 
of  business  involving  the  most  significant  changes  for  retail 
trade  are  within  SIC  major  groups  53  and  57.  These 
changes  are  described  in  detail  in  the  "Kind-of-Business 
Classifications"  section  below  and  in  appendix  H. 

It  was  not  possible  to  retabulate  1 982  data  based  on  the 
revised  1987  classifications  for  comparative  purposes 
since,  in  many  cases,  the  necessary  information  was  not 
available  for  assigning  the  new  1987  classifications  to  the 
1 982  records.  However,  1 987  census  records  were  assigned 
both  a  1987  and  1982  census  classification.  Census  data 
for  1987  are  presented  based  on  the  1987  classifications 
for  all  geographic  areas  included  in  this  publication  (see 
"Geographic  Areas  Covered"  in  the  Introduction).  In  addi- 
tion, data  for  the  United  States  and  each  State  are 
presented  for  both  1987  and  1982  based  on  the  1972 
classifications  in  table  3  of  this  publication.2 

Geographic  areas — The  boundaries  of  a  number  of 
areas  for  which  data  are  shown  in  the  1 987  census  are  not 
the  same  as  in  the  1982  census  because  df  annexations; 
other  boundary  changes;  and  redefinitions  of  previously 
defined  standard  metropolitan  statistical  areas  (SMSA's) 
and  standard  consolidated  statistical  areas  (SCSA's)  into 
metropolitan  statistical  areas  (MSA's),  primary  metropoli- 
tan statistical  areas  (PMSA's),  and  consolidated  metropoli- 
tan statistical  areas  (CMSA's).3 

Nonemployer  firms— In  1982,  data  for  nonemployers 
and  the  combined  data  for  all  establishments  were  pre- 
sented only  at  the  retail  total  level  for  all  geographic  areas 
except  the  United  States,  for  which  these  data  were  pub- 
lished by  kind  of  business.  For  1987,  data  presented  in  this 
publication  do  not  include  nonemployer  establishments. 
Consequently,  data  in  this  report  are  included  only  for 
establishments  with  payroll.  Data  for  nonemployers  by  kind 
of  business  for  the  United  States  are  presented  in  the  1 987 


2To  improve  comparability  between  1982  and  1987  statistics,  1982 
data  were  slightly  adjusted  to  reflect  organizational  changes  affecting 
some  industries.  Accordingly,  statistics  presented  for  1982  vary  slightly 
from  those  previously  published. 

3Newly  defined  metropolitan  statistical  areas  (MSA's)  and  also  certain 
terminology  changes  were  announced  by  the  Office  of  Management  and 
Budget  (OMB)  effective  June  30,  1983.  The  previous  term  "standard 
metropolitan  statistical  area"  was  shortened  to  metropolitan  statistical 
area.  If  an  area  has  more  than  1  million  population  and  meets  certain 
other  specified  requirements,  it  now  is  termed  a  "consolidated  metropol- 
itan statistical  area"  (CMSA)  and  consists  of  major  components  recog- 
nized as  "primary  metropolitan  statistical  areas"  (PMSA's).  Many  of  these 
PMSA's  were  formerly  recognized  as  SMSA's  and  the  majority  were  also 
included  in  standard  consolidated  statistical  areas  defined  by  OMB 
beginning  in  1975,  each  of  which  consisted  of  two  or  more  closely 
associated  SMSA's.  Metropolitan  areas  not  included  in  CMSA's  are 
designated  simply  as  metropolitan  statistical  areas  (MSA's). 


Census  of  Retail  Trade  report,  Selected  Statistics,  RC87- 
SP-1  and  for  States,  metropolitan  statistical  areas,  coun- 
ties, and  places  with  2,500  inhabitants  or  more  in  the  Retail 
Trade  reports  of  the  Nonemployer  Statistics  Series,  RC87- 
N-1  to  -4.  See  appendix  A  of  the  Nonemployer  Statistics 
Series  reports  for  a  description  of  improvements  in  data 
collection  and  processing  of  nonemployer  records  for  the 
1987  Economic  Censuses. 

Establishments — In  1 982  and  prior  censuses,  the  count 
of  establishments  (defined  below)  represented  the  number 
in  business  at  the  end  of  the  year.  For  1987,  the  count  of 
establishments  in  this  publication  represents  those  in 
business  at  any  time  during  1987. 

A  comparison  of  the  number  of  establishments  in  busi- 
ness at  the  end  of  the  year  versus  the  number  active  any 
time  during  the  year  for  the  State  as  a  whole  is  presented 
in  appendix  G.2 

EXPLANATION  OF  TERMS 

Establishments — An  establishment  is  a  single  physical 
location  at  which  business  is  conducted.  It  is  not  neces- 
sarily identical  with  a  company  or  enterprise,  which  may 
consist  of  one  establishment  or  more.  Census  of  retail 
trade  figures  represent  a  summary  of  reports  for  individual 
establishments  rather  than  companies.  For  cases  where  a 
census  report  was  received,  separate  information  was 
obtained  for  each  location  where  business  was  conducted. 
When  administrative  records  of  other  Federal  agencies 
were  used  instead  of  a  census  report,  no  information  was 
available  on  the  number  of  locations  operated.  Estimates 
of  this  number  were  derived  from  a  sample  and  will  be 
provided  in  the  retail  trade  report,  Miscellaneous  Subjects 
(RC87-S-4).  Each  retail  establishment  was  tabulated  accord- 
ing to  the  physical  location  at  which  the  business  was 
conducted. 

When  two  activities  or  more  were  carried  on  at  a  single 
location  under  a  single  ownership,  all  activities  generally 
were  grouped  together  as  a  single  establishment.  The 
entire  establishment  was  classified  on  the  basis  of  its 
major  activity  and  all  data  for  it  were  included  in  that 
classification.  However,  when  distinct  and  separate  eco- 
nomic activities  (for  which  different  industry  classification 
codes  were  appropriate)  were  conducted  under  the  same 
ownership  at  a  single  location,  and  when  conditions  pre- 
scribed by  the  SIC  manual  for  recognizing  the  existence  of 
more  than  one  establishment  were  met,  separate  estab- 
lishment reports  for  each  of  the  different  activities  were 
obtained  in  the  census. 

Leased  departments  are  treated  as  separate  establish- 
ments and  are  classified  according  to  the  kind  of  business 
they  conduct.  For  example,  a  leased  department  selling 
shoes  within  a  department  store  would  be  considered  a 
separate  retail  establishment  under  the  "shoe  store"  clas- 
sification. 

Firms— A  firm  is  a  business  organization  or  entity 
consisting  of  one  domestic  establishment  (location)  or 
more  under  common  ownership  or  control.  All  establish- 
ments of  subsidiary  firms  are  included  as  part  of  the 
owning  or  controlling  firm.  For  the  economic  censuses,  the 
terms  "firm"  and  "company"  are  synonymous.

other  businesses  whose  primary  activity  is  other  than  retail 
trade.  They  do  include  receipts  other  than  from  the  sale  of

proprietors  or  partners.  Payroll  is  reported  before  deduc- 
tions for  social  security,  income  tax,  insurance,  union  dues,

on  IRS  form  941. 


Legal  form  of  organization — The  legal  form  of  organ- 
ization for  firms  in  the  mail  universe  was  based  on  the 
response  to  the  organizational  status  inquiry  on  the  various 
census  forms.  The  legal  form  of  organization  of  nonmail 
firms  was  generally  based  on  information  available  from 
the  administrative  records  of  other  Federal  agencies. 

This  report  presents  data  by  the  following  legal  forms  of 
organization: 

1.  Corporations  (including  corporate  cooperatives). 

2.  Individual  proprietorships. 

3.  Partnerships. 

4.  Other  types. 

Auxiliary  establishments — Each  company  included  in 
this  census  was  asked  to  identify  and  report  separately 
those  auxiliary  locations  whose  primary  functions  were  to 
manage,  administer,  service,  or  support  the  activities  of  the 
other  establishments  of  the  company.  Data  presented  in 
this  report  do  not  include  auxiliary  establishments.  Data  for 
auxiliaries  which  primarily  service  retail  establishments  are 
presented  in  a  subsequent  report  issued  as  part  of  the 
1 987  Enterprise  Statistics  reports. 


KIND-OF-BUSINESS  CLASSIFICATIONS 

Retail  trade,  major  groups  52  through  59  in  the  1 987  SIC 
manual,  includes  establishments  engaged  in  selling  mer- 
chandise for  personal  or  household  consumption  and  in 
rendering  services  incidental  to  the  sale  of  the  goods. 
Exceptions  to  this  general  rule  are  lumber  yards;  paint, 
glass,  and  wallpaper  stores;  typewriter  stores;  stationery 
stores;  and  gasoline  service  stations,  which  sell  to  both  the 
general  public  for  personal  and  household  consumption 
and  to  businesses.  These  types  of  stores  are  included  in 
retail  trade  even  if  a  higher  proportion  of  their  sales  is 
made  to  other  than  individuals  for  personal  or  household 
consumption.  However,  such  establishments  that  sell  their 
products  only  to  institutional  or  industrial  users  and  to  other 
wholesalers  and  establishments  that  sell  similar  merchan- 
dise for  use  exclusively  by  business  establishments  are 
classified  in  wholesale  trade. 

Other  important  characteristics  of  retail  trade  establish- 
ments are  that  they  are  usually  places  of  business;  they 
are  engaged  in  activities  to  attract  the  general  public  to 
buy;  they  buy  or  receive  as  well  as  sell  merchandise;  they 
may  process  their  products,  although  processing  is  inci- 
dental or  subordinate  to  selling;  and  they  are  considered 
as  retail  in  the  trade.  Not  all  of  these  characteristics  need 
be  present  and  some  are  modified  by  trade  practice. 

Establishments  covered  by  the  census  were  assigned 
kind-of-business  classifications  according  to  the  industry 
classifications  defined  in  the  1987  SIC  manual.  When  a 
more  detailed  classification  was  needed  than  that  defined 
in  the  SIC  manual,  more  kinds  of  business  were  identified 
within  a  SIC. 


RETAIL  TRADE— GEOGRAPHIC  AREA  SERIES 


APPENDIX  A     A-3 


In  general,  retail  establishments  were  classified  accord- 
ing to  the  principal  lines  of  commodities  sold  (groceries, 
hardware,  etc.),  or  the  usual  trade  designation  (drug  store, 
cigar  store,  etc.). 

Kind-of-business  classifications  are  not  interchangeable 
with  commodity  classifications;  most  businesses  sell  sev- 
eral kinds  of  commodities.  The  kind-of-business  code 
generally  reflects  either  the  individual  commodity  or  the 
commodity  group  which  is  the  primary  source  of  the 
establishment's  business.  Thus,  the  classification  of  estab- 
lishments by  kind  of  business  generally  does  not  make  it 
possible  to  determine  either  the  number  of  establishments 
handling  a  particular  commodity  or  the  sales  of  that 
commodity.  For  example,  the  food  stores  classification 
excludes  stores  selling  food  if  the  sale  of  food  is  not  the 
primary  source  of  receipts;  moreover,  even  though  stores 
are  classified  as  food  stores,  some  of  their  receipts  may  be 
derived  from  the  sale  of  nonfood  products.  (Information  on 
the  extent  to  which  various  broad  groups  of  commodities, 
or  merchandise  lines,  are  sold  by  different  kinds  of  busi- 
ness is  available  in  the  1 987  Census  of  Retail  Trade  report, 
Merchandise  Line  Sales,  RC87-S-3.)

sales  to  contractors  account  for  a  higher  proportion  of  the 
sales.  Establishments  which  do  not  sell  to  the  general 
public  are  classified  in  wholesale  trade.

A-4     APPENDIX  A 


RETAIL  TRADE— GEOGRAPHIC  AREA  SERIES 


The  employment  and  lines  of  merchandise  sold  in 
leased  departments  are  both  taken  into  account  when 
classifying  a  department  store. 

To  qualify  as  a  department  store,  sales  of  each  of  the 
lines  listed  above  must  be  less  than  80  percent  of  total 
store  sales.  An  establishment  with  total  sales  of  $10  million 
or  more  is  classified  as  a  department  store  even  if  sales  of 
one  of  the  merchandise  lines  listed  above  exceed  the 
maximum  percent  of  total  sales,  provided  that  the  com- 
bined sales  of  the  other  two  groups  are  $1  million  or  more. 
Relatively  few  stores  are  included  in  this  classification  as  a 
result  of  this  special  rule  and  most  of  those  which  are 
would  otherwise  have  been  classified  in  the  apparel  group 
(SIC  major  group  56). 

Due  to  the  relatively  high  level  of  leased  department 
activity  in  department  stores,  department  store  sales  have 
been  separately  presented  for  the  following  classifications: 

Department  stores  (incl.  leased  depts.) 

Department  stores  (excl.  leased  depts.) 

For  States  and  for  areas  with  10,000  retail  establish- 
ments or  more,  the  following  subcategories  of  department 
stores  (excl.  leased  depts.)  also  are  presented:

Establishments  which  satisfy  the  criteria  of  a  department 
store  (see  above)  and:

2.  May  have  a  catalog  order  service. 

3.  Are  not  affiliated  with  a  company  which  operates 
similar  establishments  on  a  national  basis.

Departmentalized  retail  stores  normally  with  50  employees 
or  more  and  operated  by  mail-order  houses  and  selling  a 
general  line  of  merchandise  are  classified  in  SIC  531. 
Retail  stores  normally  with  less  than  50  employees  and 
operated  by  mail-order  houses  and  selling  a  general  line  of 
merchandise  are  classified  in  SIC  539.  In  some  tabulations 
at  the  national  level,  catalog  and  mail-order  houses  are 
divided  into  subclassifications  on  the  basis  of  the  merchan- 
dise they  sell.  The  subclassifications  are  department  store 
merchandise,  other  general  merchandise,  and  other  mail- 
order houses.  Establishments  primar-ily  engaged  in  mail- 
order sales  of  computer  hardware  and/or  software  and 
television  order  (home  shopping)  sales  are  included  within 
the  "Other  mail-order  houses"  classification. 

Merchandising    machine    operators    (SIC    5962)— 

Establishments  primarily  engaged  in  the  retail  sale  of 
products  by  automatic  merchandising  units  (vending  machines) 
which  are  generally  located  on  the  premises  of  other 
businesses.  This  industry  does  not  include  coin-operated 
service  machines  such  as  washers  and  dryers  (SIC  7215), 
music  machines  and  amusement  game  machines  (SIC 
7993),  lockers  and  scales  (SIC  7299),  or  insurance  policies 
sold  through  vending  machines  (SIC  63).  The  "estab- 
lishment" is  the  location  from  which  the  vending  route  (or 
routes)  is  serviced,  not  the  number  of  vending  machines  or 
the  number  of  business  locations  in  which  vending  machines 
are  located. 

Since  many'automatic  merchandising  machine  opera- 
tions are  conducted  in  conjunction  with  the  operation  of 
manufacturing  plants  and  of  other  establishments  not 
classified  in  retail  trade,  data  for  "retail"  automatic  mer- 
chandising machine  operators  should  not  be  interpreted  as 
a  measure  of  total  sales  through  automatic  merchandising 
machines.  Nor  do  the  data  for  "retail"  automatic  merchan- 
dising machine  operators  include  sales  made  through 
automatic  merchandising  machines  owned  by  establish- 
ments classified  in  other  kinds  of  retail  trade. 

Direct  selling  establishments  (SIC  5963)— Establish- 
ments primarily  selling  merchandise  by  house-to-house 
canvass,  by  party  plan,  by  telephone,  or  from  trucks  or 
wagons  or  other  temporary  locations.  The  "establishment"

vassers who  do  not  have  any  paid  help  are  excluded  from 
the  tabulations  in  this  report.  In  some  tabulations  at  the
